Wii-Style Shader

The simple yet clean textures applied to characters and buildings are a hallmark of Wii games. I identified the specific characteristics of these textures and implemented them using the Unity engine.

Characteristics of Wii textures:

• Simple colors and shading
• Low-gloss surfaces
• Thick cartoon-style outlines
• Smooth animated textures

Implemented in Unity:

• Used the Lit shader
• Set Smoothness to 0
• Set Metallic to 0 to remove metallic properties and gloss
• Recreated the Wii’s simple yet clean effects using the Emission property

This style uses straightforward and clean visuals, employing simple textures and shading that are optimized for hardware performance.
